Wellington Borer Control
Borer can quickly become a problem in Wellington homes and businesses, especially when they start attacking exposed timber in subfloors, roof spaces, sheds, and older wooden structures. Guardian Pest Control provides professional borer treatment in Wellington, using targeted timber treatments to help control active infestations, protect vulnerable timber, and reduce the risk of further damage.
Our Borer Treatment Process
Inspection
Our borer inspection includes a thorough check of affected timber, flight holes, frass, moisture issues, access points, roof spaces, subfloors, damage levels, and areas requiring treatment.
Control
Our borer treatments use practical timber treatment methods suited to the property, including roof space spraying, subfloor spraying, targeted timber treatment, flight hole treatment, sealing off accessible entry points for beetles, and moisture-related recommendations where required.
Prevention
Ongoing maintenance, proofing checks, and practical advice around moisture control, timber condition, ventilation, flight holes, beetle entry points, and building protection to help reduce future borer activity.
Your local Borer control experts
Borer are more than just a nuisance around your home or business. They can infest structural timber, roof spaces, subfloors, flooring, framing, sheds, and older timber features, leaving flight holes, frass, and gradual timber damage behind. Once borer activity is established, the issue can continue year after year if the affected timber and surrounding areas are not treated properly.
Our Wellington borer treatment team uses practical timber treatment methods, detailed inspections, moisture and ventilation advice, and site-specific treatment options to help control active borer and reduce the chances of further damage.

Common questions & concerns
At Guardian Pest Control, we believe you should know exactly what is being done inside your home or business. From clear, fixed pricing through to explaining the products we use and where they are being applied, we aim to keep the process simple and transparent. Cockroach problems can be stressful, so our goal is to make you feel comfortable, informed, and confident while we get the issue under control.
How do I pay?
We take payment on job completion via our mobile eftpos machine. We also accept cash and bank transfer.
How long does the treatment take?
Expect the ant treatment to take around 90 minutes. It may take less time than this, but it depends on the access to the property, the severity of the infestation, the ant species, and any other issues we find on site. We take pride in doing a thorough job, so we need enough time to inspect and treat the property properly. If you need to leave early, just let the technician know and they can lock up once they’re finished.
Is the treatment pet and child friendly?
All of our treatments are child and pet friendly. If you have any concerns, please let the technician know. They’ll be happy to explain the process and reassure you that your family, pets, and home will be safe, while helping ensure your property stays pest free.
How long does a treatment last?
We provide a 6 month guarantee for ant control on residential properties of any size. On the day of treatment, our technician will give you advice on how to make the treatment last longer. This may include trimming back fruit trees, storing rubbish in a better sealed bin, wiping down surfaces more frequently, or other simple steps to help prevent ants from returning.
